LCD prototype has a diagonal 16-inch LED backlight unit, as an “uber-argument,” declared the ability to display Full HD 3D ( 1920 x 1080 pixels). In order to enjoy a three-dimensional image, we can take points from the gate-type TV series Bravia. One can only be delivered if at least one pair in a set with a laptop.
Fujitsu Ltd, Toshiba Corp, NEC Corp and other manufacturers already have in their arsenal of 3D-notebooks, so Sony has specific enemies, which should surpass.Or at least do no worse.

In February this year, the Office of Advanced Research Projects (DARPA) Pentagon started a program to develop a robot under the working title ARM. Then the participants were selected by the project, namely: Carnegie Mellon University (Carnegie Mellon University), HRL Laboratories, iRobot, Jet Propulsion Laboratory NASA (NASA-Jet Propulsion Laboratory), SRI International and the University of Southern California (University of Southern California). Now we will tell the distinguished readers of new details about the project ARM.
in the job description for this friendly enough for the type of machine described as follows: «ARM should be able to keep one hand grenade, pulling out another check, then make an effective shot Grenades – without human intervention in management. The software part of the robot must cope with the difficult task, implying a few more simple steps. For example, the task “to throw the ball” subsystem is divided into a sequence nizkourovnenyh tasks, such as “find the ball”, “grab the ball,” “bend your arm” and “throw the ball».
ARM until able to throw grenades right and left – the development of machines designed for 4 years. In the process of improving the robot can perform more and more diverse acts: writing pen, using forceps, open the pack, drill out the holes using the drill, insert the key in the door lock and open it and collect the finished object from the stencil.
In spite of the very delicate and precise nature of some tasks, the developers decided to use a fairly “rough” manipulators of Barret. A set of sensors ARM presented a color-, stereo-and depth-cameras and a microphone. At the moment, a competition for the best name for a robot. Awards in the competition is not any – however, someone might decide to award the fact that it was his version of the name chosen for the robot, female genital mutilation and killing people with grenades. We hope that the ARM will find a more peaceful activities.
